Update: Nor'easter drops 19 inches of snow on Danvers

Tuesday

Due to the amount of snow that fell on the town, Danvers Public Schools announced the district would be closed for a second consecutive day.

The North Shore is dealing with the cleanup of yet another nor’easter to hit the region.

On March 13 – just a week shy of the first day of spring – Danvers and the surrounding towns were greeted with its third nor’easter of the month.

By late Tuesday evening, about 19.4 inches of snow had fallen on Danvers, according to the National Weather Service. Nearby, Topsfield saw a total of 19 inches, Salem saw 17 inches and Beverly saw 11.5 inches.

In anticipation of the storm, Danvers Public Schools announced schools would be closed on Tuesday. By middway that day, the district decided the schools would remain closed through Wednesday.

Town Hall, as well as police and fire administrative services, were also closed on Tuesday.

The Department of Public Works issued a winter parking ban for the day of the storm. As of 10 p.m. Tuesday, the ban was still in effect.

Tuesday’s storm followed the March 8 nor’easter that dumped several inches of heavy, wet snow across the North Shore, and the previous weekend nor’easter that brought rain and strong winds to the region.
